It may bo 'that "electricity will furnish
the solution of the dltllculty of operating
railways in extremely cold regions which
attends the we of steam. Evidently an
electric railway can bo built of any desired -
sired length if power generation ? sta

and hence it becomes only n question of
obtaining sufficient traffic to warrant the
cost of construction and operation. Tlio

Closed Elect rlo Itallivnjr Conduit.
An enormous amount of energy has
been spent oy Inventors in trying to
work out the practical solution of the
very difficult problem of electrical true-
tion without overhead wires.
All sorts of plans have been schemed
10 avoid the trouble , and of thesoonoof
ihe neatest we have soon Is the closed
conduit recently patented by ! Mr. C. J.
Van Depoele , says the Electrical World.
It consists of a very small conduit with a
slot above for admitting the contact de
vice , but almost completely closed by
flexlblo lips which are only separated
as the plow attached to the
car and carrying the brushes
or rollers forces them apart. "Wo have ,
thena slot which is normally completely
closed by llexlblo walls. The thin plow
simply separates these enough to allow
of itspas.sigo so that with the exception
of a short space immediately under the
car und almost entirely tilled by the
plow the conduit Is closed in such a way
as to exclude dirt , dust , and even water.
Of course It is almost hopeless to expect
that nothing of these could make its way
into the conduit , but a very largo pro-
portlonn of the disturbing intruders
must be kept permanently out.
The conduit itself may bo very small ,
and the main conductor may bo carried
with cable underneath it and tapped
into the conductor strip at intervals.
If the flexible walls can bo made so as to
retain their elasticity and the reasona
bly long-lived , very much of the trouble
Unit has hererofuro stood in the way of
the development of conduit traction will
have been removed. Ilubbcr in various
forms , packing strips of canvas or duck ,
permeated with waterproof insulating
compounds and supported by metallic
strips , fibrous packing of various sorts ,
alternate strips of rubber and canvas ,
and fibrous packing strips driven with
sufficient elasticity by steel spring , are
among the forms proposed.
A. Ilrmnrknlrio MultiplexTelgrnph.
A. most remarkable dovelopement of
the multiplex telegraph has just been
devised by Lieutenant P. Jarvis Potten ,
who has already done yeoman's service
in this Held , says the Xcw York Sun.
The Improved system depends for its
operation upon "tho synchronous nnd
uniform movement of two or moroelectric
motors placed at distant points , the
synchronism being In this instance , not
delicate , as it usually Is , but powerful
and trustworthy. The possibilities of
this arrangement point to the wonderful
conclusion thut with repeating stations
at suitable intervals and branches con
nected to the same synchronizing circut ,
nn entire network of lines and instru
ments can be operated with the dis
tributing brushes from. Elaine to Cali
fornia , kept on the same sergraents by
the Impulses emanating from Is'ew Ysre.
Lieutenant LDattcnt affords a brilliant instance -
stance of what can bo done in an un
familiar field by any one who has the
grit to concentrate himself upon it.
Lieutenant Patten was stationed out
west with his regiment. While on the
trackless plains , where so many
of the ollicers attempt to relieve
the tedium of the weary days by the
perusal of the .highest possible litera
ture , and other amesements of a moro
exciting-character , ho took up the study
of electricity , with which ho occupied all
his spare time. The first result of this
application was the invention of an elec
trical target , which still stands , nn ob
ject of curiosity to the Indians nt Fort
Sidney , } < eb. 'lie came east to put him
self in line with the latest work and
ideas , butso far from having anything to
learn , he was at once accepted as one ol
the foremost inventors , and his ideas
are now attracting univeasul attention.
Ho has not only been working nt the de
velopment of alternating current
dynamos and motors , but has brought tc
notice some of the most beautiful anc ]
comprehensive systems of telegraphy
ever devised. He 1ms other ideas on
which he is at work , and he has already
secured an enviable reputation in
Europe. Lieutenant Patten is a phe
nomenally rapid worker , and his inventions
tions have been brought to perfection in
a remarkably short time.
Kefliilnic Silver by Electricity ,
According tea foreign journal devotei
to the mining and. kindred interests , the
method of refining silver electrically is
now coining into a somewhat extendec
use , Bavs " the Chicago Journal of Com
merce. It is most suitable fortheretin
ing of auriferous silver containing about
11 per cent of gold , the cost in this case
being only about 1-1 con taper itound. The
principleuponwhich thomethod isba. ec _
consists In using unordinury electrolytic
bath anodes of an argentiferous matte
and a thin plato of pure silver
as the cathode , The bath consists of t
very weak solution of nitric acid , contain
ing about 1 jier cent of the acid. The
anode ? , which are about one-half Inch
thick , with a surface of about 13.5 square
Inches , are placed in muslin bags which
retain the gold , platinum , peroxide o
lead and similar foreign materials con
tuincd in the unit to.
The current used Is 150 ampheres , and
tl)6 ) potential difference between the
plates ono volt. During the whole
period of work brushes nro keot moving
up and down the silver plates , whicl
swoop off the silver deposited into
troughs put for the purpose at the hot
torn of the bath. These troughs are re
moved from time to time , and the silver
taken out and sent to the furnace. I
the mntto contains copper , tills is dis
solved by the nitric acid , but is not deposited
posited on the catholo. The electrolytii
method of treating raattes containing
the precious metals will doubtless como
into general use when its value is better
understood.
Heat nml Mugnctlam.
It is now pretty widely known tha
iron suddenly ceases to bo mngnetli
tThon heated to the critical point of it
"recalcscenco" or "after-glow , " nnd tha
i 1 alloyed with some 12 pur cent of man
gancso , aa in manpaneso steel , , it be
comes almost completely non-magnetic ,
cays Engineering and Building. These
'acts show us that iron is not necessarily
magnetic under all conditions , for ntf-
mixture with a small quantity of another
metal , nnd oven mere change of temper
ature render it non-magnetic. Stranger
still , some observers report that iron be
comes magnutic when the temperature
roaches whiteness , but this lacks confir
mation.
The behavior of nickel steel Is very re
markable. As usually received from the
maker , nickel steel with 2-3 per cent of
nickel is non-magnetic ; nnd yet it is a
mixture of two magnetic metals , iron
nnd nickel. If , now , wo cool this.nlckcl-
steel 20 degrees C , ( t degrees'Pahr , )
it becomes very decidedly magnetic ,
nnd remains so when it again returns
to the normal temperature. If , finally ,
wo heat it , it remains magnetic until it
reaches its critical temperature of oSO
degrees C , (1,076 ( degrees Fahr. ) , when it
ngaln becomes non-magnetic , nnd re
mains so until again cooled to 20 de
grees C.
Kluslilp of Electricity and Light.
What has electricity still in reserve
for us ? said M. Cornu , io his address to
the French Associations for the Ad
vancement of Science. Nobody can fore
see it , yet ; much is expected from It , and
from every side. The art of engineer
ing urges it to furnish the transforma
tion , and the universal distribution of
energy ! medicine and surgery call for it ,
inditlicult cases ; physiology asks for it
for the secret of nervous transmission ,
which is in such intimate analogy with
the electric current.
As the pure theory , great results are
approaching. Geometers who are the
continuatorsof .AinperePoissonFourier ,
Ohm , Gauss , Ilclmholz , Thompson ,
Maxwell , and have helped so much in
connecting electricity with the laws of
mechanics , are preparing a great syn
thesis which will mark an epoch
in the history of natural philosophy ;
they are very near demonstrating
that the electro-magnetic are subjected
to the same elementary laws as the opti
cal phenomena ; that they are two mani
festations of a motion in the same cle
ment , ether ; the problems of optics are
solved by equations of electro-magnet
ism. From an experimental standpoint ,
very promising results are already ob
tained ; the speed of light , fixed by opti
cal methods , is measured also by purely
electrical measures ; It has even 'been al
most possible recently , after the much-
bruited experiments of Mr. Hertz , that
the experimental identification of elec
trical discharges , and of luminous undu
lations of waves was an acx > mplished
fact. If more decisive proofs are still
Wanted , it can bo said that , In the mind
of physicists , the intimate connection be
tween electricity and .light is very near
being rigorously defined.

The novel experiment of boiling eggs
by electricity was tried in the otlieo of
the electric supply company , in the
Masonic temple , on Third fetreet. Of
course , they were boiled in water , but
electricity was the heating agent , says
the Cincinnati Times-Star. Luke Lillo'y ,
the city's assistant electrician , was chief
cook ; Charley Marshall , the under
writer's agent , ate the first egg boiled
by the agency cf the subtile current. It
recjuired six "ampere ( quantity of elec

force ) to accomplish the operation with
about two quarts of water in a huge tin
cup. The news of the egg-boiling
spread cjuickly , nnd , as it was about
lunch time , brokers , bulls and bears ,
bankers , insurance men and lawyers
crowded the olllce. .About thirteen
dozen eggs were consumed , the only dis
appointment being that a drink did not

A simple method of curing the trouble

In the course of recent experiments in
England a curious effect was observed ,
namely , that the formation of ozone it

The question whether or not electricity

TO WATER THE 'ARID LANDS ,

Irrigation !

ARTESIAN WELLS ARE 'NOT NEEDED ,

Xenr tlio Surfacc-Tlio Opcr-
ntlons now In Progress
Xcnr
Mr. Jones , the well known irrigation
ditch builder , Is hard atworkat Ogalnlln
on a plan by which ho expects to get
from bcneivththo surface sufllciunt water
to redeem the arid wastes of Kansas and
2 > . 'cbraska. A correspondent of the Den
ver News tells how the work Is dono. In
the suburbs of the town ho has built nn
immense reservoir with a slxty-flvo foot
fall for the storage of his water. This Is
from a hnlf to three-quarters of n mile
long by 600 feet wide imd twenty feet
deep , well walled by an immense embank
ment nil around. Thirteen miles up the
South Platte from Ognlalla Mr. Jones
bean ( his work a yenr ago. A short
distance from the oed of the river ho
lias dug n lonjr canal parallel to the
now dry bed of the stream. "U'ith n
breadth of fourteen fuet ho has con
structed this canal for two miles along
the course of the river up stream , keep
ing nil the wav but a very short way
from the bed of the stream. The latter
has a descent or fall of eicht fcot in a
mile. The fall of the ditch is but
but two foot. In these two simple
facts lay the key to Mr. Jones whole
plan.
As far as the canal has boon carried it
has been dug through pand. Every
where four fcot below the surface little
veins of water are struck , the percola
tion being from east to west. In boring
into the earth stratus of clay and gravel
wore penetrated. The latter being very
coarse and comparatively loosely packed
together. Water seeps through It very
readily , and the interstices are filled
with water. Thus the hydrostatic pres
sure forces the water to the surfnco
when an outlet for it is given by means
of the pipes. It seeks its own level , and
as that is considerably above the bed of
the canal , therefore it overflows. "Buf
falo" Jones , in hisunbounded faith in the
inoxbaustibility of the supply of the
underflow , goes the geologists one better
and declares there are lakes and sous of
water underground. Ho does not believe
that man can use it up. Hedtoseminent
authorities for his belief , and says that the
underflow is going to redeem * the great
American desert. Western Kansas , lie
declares , will one day bo a beautiful , pro
ductive plain , and prophesies the same
glorious future for all those barren tracts.
of land that have hitherto not been mar
ketable.
As can bo seen his system is simple
and comparatively inexpensive. The
only question can bo the limits of the
supply , and whatever lie docs Mr. Jones
will bo thoroughly testing this. It is
worthy of note that the beauty of this
system is that it exemplfies what is
known in logic as the' mutuality of cause
and effect. Nothing is ever lost in nat
ure. The water brought to the surface
by these urtiticial means is spread over
the surface of the earth , and the
by far greater amount after bav-
ing done its service finks into the
earth ugnln to bo brought to the surface
again anQ untilized.iji. the same manner
with the same result , and go on in unend
ing succession. THe water will bo used
and roused again and again , uncon
sciously , of course. The Ogalalla canal
will not bo of any benefit to the citizens
of tbat country this season , but next
year they will have the opportunity of
testing vrhat reliance thoyfmay place
upon it. "Buffalo" Jones is contident
that they will be unable to exhaust it ,
and his reasons for this belief must bo
admitted to be well founded.
A News reporter obtained Mr. Jones'
opinion as to the feasibility of sinking
artesian wells all over the arid bolt
which it has been suggested the govern
ment might undertake. Speaking of
this ho said , "there has been a great
deal of inquiry and speculation on this
point , I know. Water , of course , can bo
had anywhere by boring far enough into
the earth's crust ; the further you go the
more water you obtain. There are now
a great many wells in the country sunk
by private individuals , ranging all the
way from a few hundred feet to several
thousand feet. But it is too expensive.
One well often costs 310,000. You can
get water without going so far below the
surface. I don't euro where it Is you can
get water anywhere without going very
far beneath the earth's surface.
"Why do vou select the vicinity of a
river ? "
"Well , it is generally admitted that
the water flows more freely in the neigh
borhood of the undertlow of a stream.
But then I will on the same plan find
water not far down on the arid plains
out hero. You don't have drive wells ,
drift gradually for your water and will
strike it like nminer his vein. I don't
think the government will ever try any
plan of boring artesian wells on an ex
tensive scale. It may to a certain ex
tent. But individual companies cannot
afford to carry out aschemo of this kind.
Especially when the system I nm devel
oping Is much cheaper and productive of
better results I do not think it will bo
tried. "With my works I can bring moro
water to the surface than can 100 arte
sian wells costing 310,000 apiece.
Mine costs $20,000 ; and you can
flguro out the difference without
much trouble. I got eighteen feet into
the earth and they over one thousand.
The plan I outline and am following is
comparatively cheap. It will save mil
lions of needless expense to the country
and furnish it with n boundless supply of
water. It will reclaim this whole barren
waste. The irrigatlJy dltches will not
bo drying up and the rivers .will not bo
taxed so. To got at this subterranean
water has Been the question , and the
problem to be solved has been one of ex
pense. This scheme .gives the solution ,
1 believe. You , eec. ns you strike the
water in this way yqi ) 'givo it an outlet ,
and there are walls of it on each side it
is forced immediately to the surface.
There can bo no qup tion that the sub
terranean waters are Inexhaustible ,
and I believe , as I have said , that iny
method , perhaps improved on , will be
the one that will bofOjUjid most feasablo
to get at them.

alone would be sufficient to carry us far be
yond IWO , should the nejctdccado bring us an
increase of I'J.OOO.OW or oven 15,000,000 , In
population. Again , the American practice of
cropping wheat without using fertilizers or
sj-ccial tlllapo will be abandoned as land becomes -
comes moro valuable , as ppulatlon Increases
and as the overtaking of supply by consump
tion enhances the value of wheat. A simple
computation will sufilce to Illustrate the ca
pacity of the United States. Conceive the
wheat area to remain at Its present fiRUa1 ,
3 ,000,000 acres In round numbers. Conceive
11KJO to have arrived and the population largo
enough to consume the 450,000,000 bushels
of wheat crown on the & ,000UOO
acres of land. Now fertilization Is
generally adopted. Tuo capacity of the soil
is Increased so as to raise the "averago yield
per aero of the country" one bushel. In the
iirstycar of fertill/inp nnd careful culture
that add * 33,000.000 bushels to the capacity of
the country. The second year brings better
results still and adds another bushel to the
"average , " implying an Increase of 70,000,000
bushels. The third year adds another
bushel to the acre's yield nnd brings the In
crease up to 114,000.000 bushels. These in
creases nro small when compared with the
increases achieved la France , nnd as the soil
of the United States Is superior to that of
France , It Is sata to predict that the "aver
age" of twelve or less bushels to the aero ia
this country may bo raised to twenty
nnd moro Bushels , so that the present
35,000,000 acres under culture may be taken
to represent a producing capacity of ToO.OOO-
000 to 1,000,000.000 bushels of wheat. At the
rate of live bushels per head , it would require
00,000,000 inhabitants In the United States
to consume all that the prssent acreage can
produce under an enlightened system of cul
ture. Go further , and conceive the wheat
area extended from 8S,000,000 to , V,000,000
acres , which is within the probabilities , and
the average of thirty bushels to the acre will
mean a wheat crop of 1,300,000,000 bushels.
Density of population Implies en
forced intensity of population , and
when once the American deposits of fertil
izers are brougbt Into use , all crops will respond
spend by raising their acreage. Natural soils
in the valleys of Oregon nnd "Washington
have yielded seventy-two bushels of wheat
to the acre.V hen less fertile soils are wade
to resemble those wonderful western soils ,
wheat growing will assume a magnitude that
would now seem incredible. ; Bulls and bears ,
foreign pussiinlsti , native blockheads nnd
gamblers In grain the world over should
move the ' importiuK" date of the United
States forward from IfOO to 9100.
